"Professional and dedicated. Maria managed the recent sale of our Pymble home at a time when selling results in the market were inconsistent. Maria managed the process in a professional, warm and positive manner and always demonstrated care, enthusiasm and respect for our property. Knowing that Maria and her selling partner Peter were managing all inspections, buyer enquiries and communications personally, gave us the confidence that the process was in well-informed and experienced hands. We would not hesitate to work with Maria again."

"Great communication and support. Selling your home is never an easy process. However, working with Maria McBain and Peter Brack made this exercise smooth and manageable. Their experience and professionalism was clearly evident from the first meeting until the conclusion of the sale. We had complete confidence in their advice while also knowing that it was our opinion that was paramount. Regular and effortless communication via phone and email kept us well-informed while they were always available for questions, no matter how small. Not only that, they were both fun to work with - a real bonus during a potentially stressful task. Finally, we were very happy with the price achieved for our property, especially in a tricky market. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the services and expertise of Maria and Peter to anyone thinking of selling their home."

Lee & Jim Jenkins

"Very professional. Hard working to ensure good presentation of property. Maria worked diligently and professionally during the sale campaign to ensure my property was well presented to the widest number of prospective purchasers. She kept me fully informed of comparable sales and other developments in the property market in my area and their relevance to the sale campaign. Maria followed up each inquiry and prospect while keeping me fully informed . As a result, she succeeded in achieving an acceptable price in a falling market."

Jane Reynolds & Robert Jackson

"We first heard about Maria and Peter after their record sale of a property around the corner from us. Maria and Peter are very genuine and direct and were able to clearly explain how they work to achieve the best possible price. Selling your home is not something easy - it was very emotional and quite stressful for us and having Maria and Peter on our team was the right decision we made when it came to selling our much loved home. They are very likeable, both by us and buyers, which attracted the right buyer to our beautiful home. Maria also has great design skills. She helped us to decorate and style our house for the photo shoot and open days. They have helped us to achieve our dream by selling our house at the right price. We will highly recommend them to our family, neighbours and friends!"

Having Maria and Peter on our team was the best decision we made when it came to selling our much loved home.

She has all the contacts to make the preparation for sale seem effortless and her keen eye knows no bounds. She is graceful and warm and kept our best interests at heart.

"I was referred to Maria and Peter at Century 21 Turramurra by a good friend and was given immediate confidence after my first meeting with them. Maria was thorough, professional and more importantly had a clear plan about the process and strategy to get my desired price for my property. I was constantly kept in the loop and what struck me was that this business does not take chances or hope for a good result, they have a strategy that engages buyers and they get to a point of engaging with people who have a high motivation to buy. I was so pleased with the service I received from Maria, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a great result in this area."

David Clark

"My wife and I were very pleased with Maria & Peter’s service! The price was well beyond our expectations and was a direct result of their market knowledge and understanding of buyer psychology. Maria & Peter ran a confident campaign, didn’t miss a beat and delivered in spades, all with a very down-to-earth and direct approach. We would not hesitate to recommend them! Thanks again, Maria & Peter!"

Haggy & Kirsten

"Peter and Maria are both excellent communicators and were able to clearly articulate to me the whole selling process in the context current climate along with potential opportunities and pitfalls. Pete’s knowledge of the local real estate market was very impressive and was further backed up by his long term residency in Turramurra. Before and throughout the marketing campaign I was regularly provided with updates and excellent advice about the best procedures and remedial works to maximise the property’s appeal to potential buyers. This advice paid dividends from the very start with very high turnouts for open house and a sale within two weeks at a price that considerably exceeded my expectations. I have absolutely no qualms about recommending Pete and Maria and would not hesitate to use their services again. Thank you for making the whole selling process that much less stressful and significantly more profitable!’
